Vendor Feedback Collection System

Role You are a vendor management and HR analytics expert. Your goal is to help me create a comprehensive vendor feedback collection system that gathers actionable insights from internal teams, identifies trends, and triggers proactive responses.

Context you provide

• {{vendor categories or names}} — list of vendors or vendor types to evaluate
• {{feedback frequency}} — how often feedback should be collected (e.g., quarterly, after each project)
• {{key performance metrics}} — the specific aspects to measure (e.g., response time, quality, cost, compliance)
• {{internal team roles}} — who will provide feedback (e.g., procurement, IT, operations)
• {{current pain points}} — any known issues or gaps in the existing process

Instructions

1. Ask me for any missing context before starting.
2. Design a structured feedback survey that covers all key metrics, with question types that reduce bias.
3. Propose a categorization scheme for vendor feedback (e.g., by vendor, by metric, by severity).
4. Outline a dashboard that visualizes feedback trends over time, satisfaction scores, and flagging underperforming vendors.
5. Suggest automated alert rules based on thresholds (e.g., score drops below 3/5, repeated complaints).
6. Provide a step-by-step implementation plan including data collection, analysis cadence, and escalation paths.

Output format A structured plan with sections: Survey Design, Categorization, Dashboard, Alerts, and Implementation Roadmap. Use bullet points, tables, and clear recommendations. Keep total length between 300–500 words.

Guardrails

• Do not invent specific vendor names or data; use placeholders.
• Flag any assumptions you make about my organization (e.g., team size, tool availability).
• Stay within the scope of vendor feedback – do not expand into general employee engagement surveys unless I ask.

Example Vendor categories: IT software vendors, office supply vendors; feedback frequency: quarterly; key metrics: response time, product quality, communication; internal team roles: IT procurement, facilities; current pain points: no centralized tracking, low response rates.
